Chapter 31

"A~ you're trying to fool a ghost, huh~!~!~!"

Although Li Huan wanted to shout this out loud, he held back and asked somewhat strangely, "Are you sure we were classmates in junior high?"

While Li Huan thought it was possible, after all, he knew no more than ten of his junior high classmates, and could name no more than ten.

Pei Seqi nodded, her expression very sincere, but she felt a bit disheartened inside. She didn't expect the other person to completely forget her. Was her presence really that weak?

Li Huan rubbed his nose a bit awkwardly and then laughed dryly, "Haha~~~ Oh, it's Seqi. I remember now, we were junior high classmates!"

"Ha~~ Can you be any more fake?"

Pei Seqi didn't say it out loud, but her expression clearly showed her speechlessness. She didn't expect the other person to completely, utterly, not remember her at all. This feeling was truly bitter.

Li Huan carefully recalled in his mind, remembering Pei Seqi. He remembered that she was an artist.

Unfortunately, apart from a deep-pit movie in the future, he had no other memories of her. This situation had only one explanation.

It meant that Pei Seqi would fail in the future. From what he could see now, Pei Seqi's conditions were quite good. If they were classmates, they should be about the same age, and she should be quite young.

For such a person to fail in the future, Li Huan found it unscientific...

"Wait~~ There seems to be an opportunity to pick up something valuable!"

Li Huan's eyes suddenly narrowed. Thinking about what he had heard earlier, she was about to release a new album. Recalling the otaku's memories, they were basically the same as what he knew before, but he had no memory of this upcoming album. This definitely wasn't because the album wasn't released; the most likely reason was that the album flopped and was then cold-shouldered by the agency, gradually fading from people's view.

Of course, it could also be that she offended someone, or refused the company's arrangements, or some other bad arrangements, leading to her being buried. All of these were possible.

As for how likely it was, Li Huan couldn't be sure, but he felt it was highly probable.

"Don't look at me with that expression, okay? I admit I don't remember you at all. Of course, if we were really classmates, you should know what I was like in junior high. It's normal not to remember you, and considering your debut time, you were probably already a trainee then, so it's normal not to remember."

Pei Seqi was a bit puzzled, but hearing Li Huan's honest words, she smiled, "You're right. I didn't expect to meet you here. I just thought you looked familiar, so I called out, and it turned out to be you!"

"Alright, I didn't expect to have a celebrity classmate either..."

"All along the western front

People line up to receive..."

"Sorry, I need to take this call!" Li Huan heard his phone ring and said apologetically, then took out his phone. Seeing an unfamiliar number, he answered with some curiosity.

"You're too much, leaving us here like that, big jerk!!!"

Quan Baolan's voice came from outside the passage, full of anger. Li Huan held the phone away from his ear, thought for a moment, and then hung up.

"Your girlfriend?" Pei Seqi asked curiously.

Li Huan shook his head, "A business partner. By the way, I have something to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. Write down my number. If you want to change your work environment or start over, you can contact me. My number is..."

Li Huan casually gave his number, and Pei Seqi wrote it down in a daze. By the time she came to her senses, Li Huan had already walked out of the passage.

Pei Seqi frowned, puzzled by Li Huan's words about changing her work environment or starting over.

Additionally, Pei Seqi had something else she wanted to say. She had always wanted to thank Li Huan in person because he had helped her in junior high. Back then, Li Huan was hard to approach, and she wasn't as strong-willed as she is now, so she never dared to get close to him. She didn't expect to meet him here; perhaps this was fate.

She wrote down Li Huan's number and temporarily forgot about the work environment issue. Whether she would remember it in the future was unknown.

...

"What did you just call me?"

Looking at Li Huan who had come out of the passage to question her, Quan Baolan blinked her eyes. After a brief silence, she suddenly acted cute, "No, I didn't say anything. Haha, you must have heard wrong. You must be so hungry that you're hallucinating, Li Huan XI, let's go eat!"

"Don't try to get away with it. I remember that call!" Li Huan glared at her and then went to the counter to pay.

A man about Li Huan's age with short, straight hair leaned against the counter and laughed lightly, "Your niece has quite a temper. That scream scared my customers!"

What was with this effeminate tone? Look at his purple androgynous outfit, his long hair, and his strange finger movements. Li Huan was very frustrated. He didn't expect someone to change so quickly in just a few years.

Chen Miao... Li Huan's high school classmate and a member of the Peace Warrior group. They used to be good friends and kept in touch, but for some reason, he had become so peculiar in just a few years. Was he gay?

"Wait, Mr. Purple, what did you just say... niece?" Quan Baolan, who was following Li Huan, immediately called out when she heard Chen Miao's words. When did she become a niece?

Chen Miao looked at Li Huan and Quan Baolan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Didn't you say she was your niece?"

"Haha, of course, my cute niece Baolan!"

Li Huan laughed and then turned around, handing the bill to Quan Baolan. Seeing that they had spent over 100,000 Korean won, Quan Baolan and Li Zhiyan exchanged glances and immediately felt deflated.

While they could afford it, it was a significant expense for them, who had no jobs and occasionally did part-time work.

Seeing Li Huan's smug smile, Quan Baolan could only grit her teeth and say nothing. Thinking about how much she had been verbally teased by this guy today, she was furious. She wondered if it was because she had less contact with guys after becoming a trainee, which made her unable to match him in words.

"Alright, we're family. Besides, your niece is my niece too, just a simple makeover!" Chen Miao suddenly said, although he had become a bit strange, he was still very generous.

"Ha~ Thanks, we'll come back to take care of your business in a few days!" Li Huan, who never acted pretentiously with friends, threw the bill on the counter, greeted Chen Miao, and walked towards the entrance.

"Ouch!!"

Hearing Chen Miao's scream from behind, Li Huan turned around and saw Quan Baolan, who was walking towards him with anger. He was a bit puzzled.

However, when Quan Baolan walked up to him and suddenly kicked his right foot, Li Huan quickly stepped back, watching Quan Baolan's right foot stomp the spot where he had just been standing. He silently thought...

"Rest in peace, you pervert with three waters!"

Li Zhiyan, walking behind, suddenly smiled. In fact, before this morning, her and Quan Baolan's moods were similar, both disappointed by the internal selection. How could their moods be good?

But in this short half-day, Li Zhiyan suddenly found her mood much better. Perhaps it was because she had something to do, met a rather peculiar man, and got a makeover. In short, she felt very happy at the moment.

"I hope this mood lasts!"

...

Three days later, February 14th, Valentine's Day, finally arrived.
